Data Validation
I think I am having to use the Data Validation tool for what I want to
do. The end result I want is this: I click on a drop down (lets say in B3) and choose a dept such as "HR". Once I choose "HR" from the drop down list, it will automatically pull the proper dept code (such as 10-53-24-1). I was able to get this to work with multiple columns, where I would choose "HR" from the list (in B3) and it's dept code would display in B4. I want everything to display in B3. From what I gather at this point, I would need two separate columns, one for Depts and another for Dept Codes (I can create my drop down from there with the Data Validation tool). I am having difficulty accomplishing my goal. I've tried using the REPLACE and SUBSTITUE functions, but I'm starting to think that will not work. Please help! |
